Camp Closure Announcement
Following a comprehensive yearlong review of the long-term sustainability of our camps, the Executive Board of Three Harbors Council has made the difficult decision to end operations at Indian Mound Scout Reservation (IMR) and advise the Trustees of the Milwaukee Boy Scout Fund, a separate legal entity that owns the camp, that the property can be sold. Indian Mound Scout Reservation will remain open for programing until November 1, 2022.
The board’s camp decision was driven by the contribution requested of our council to the Settlement Trust (a compensation fund) for survivors of abuse in Scouting, formed through the National BSA’s Chapter 11 case. The camp decision is a necessary step to ensure that we are in the best position to serve youth and families for many years to come. Three Harbors Council is committed to providing top-quality program and camping opportunities at Camp Oh-Da-Ko-Ta and will continue to invest in the camp to meet the needs of our current and future Scouts.
The camp announcement can be read here and you can also view an FAQ here. Please reach out to Camping@ThreeHarborsScouting.org with any questions.
